Warehouse lighting in Ayr

LED high bays and aisle lighting for warehouses and distribution sites. We plan lift access in Ayr around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.

Local warehouse lighting in Ayr

For Ayr sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.

Loading bays in Ayr need good light at the dock edge and inside trailers. We often add dedicated dock lights alongside the high bay upgrade.

For Ayr premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Ayr FAQs

Which rules apply to lighting work in Ayr?

Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.

Is the price fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.

Do you remove the old fittings in Ayr?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

What lux level does a warehouse need?

It depends on the task. BS EN 12464-1:2021 examples include 100 lux for stores and stockrooms, 150 lux at the floor of rack storage, 200 lux for open storage and loading, and 300 lux for packing and grouping.
